BUTTON FOR FUR GARMENTS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 327,757, dated October 6, 18

Application filed February 19, 1885. I Serial No. 156,329. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, HERMANN F. BINDsnIL, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Buttons for Fur Garments, of which the following is a specification.

The buttons used heretofore for seal and other fur garments were made of a solid wooden core, a wood-screw forming the shank, and a metal washer applied to the inside of the garment. These buttons were heavy, and were exposed to rapid wear, owing to the unyielding nature of the wooden core of the button. They therefore required frequent renewal, and caused considerable dissatisfaction.

The object of this invention is to provide a button for fur garments, which is of considerable less weight compared with other fur bnttons, which does not injure the lining, is not liable to wear out, and which requires less labor in attaching the buttons.

The invention consists of the combination of a button for fur and other garments, composed of a core or body of felt or other flexible material, a fur covering, and a flanged base disk having fastening-tongues, with a slotted washer that is retained by said tongues on the fabric and base-disk.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a fur or other garment with my improved buttons. Fig. 2 is a horizontal section of one of the buttons on line a; at, Fig. 1, drawn on a larger scale. Fig. 3 is a rear view of the garment, showing the method of fastening the button; and Fig. at represents a detail top view and central section of the base disk.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

Referring to the drawings, A represents the core or body of a button for fur or other garments, which body is made of felt or compressed wadding, or other suitable light and flexible material. The body A is applied to a base-disk, B, of sheet metal, having a circumferential flange, b, and covered by a fur facing or covering, (3, which is drawn over the edge of the base of the disk B, and retained on the disk by shirringthreads passed throng] the edges of the covering. The base-disk I is provided with tongues 02 d, which are mad integral with the disk, the tongue (I being pro vided with a slot, d The tongues d d an passed through the fabric and through slot: 0 e of a metal washer, E, after which thl tongue d is bent over the Washer, and the oth er tongue, 01, passed through the slot (1 of th tongue d and bent outwardly over the same whereby a reliable locking action of the but ton with the washer is obtained.

A button of this construction is less liabl to wear than the fur buttons with woodei cores heretofore in use, owing to the yielding nature of the body. The attachment of th buttons to the garments does not require spe cial skill, and can be performed by girls with out trouble. The buttons have the furtheadvantage that they do not cut or injure th lining at the inside of the garments, and the their weight is considerably decreased.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. The combination of a button consistin; of a core or body of flexible material, a flange( base-disk having tongues integral therewith a fur covering, and a washer having trans verse slots, said tongues passing through th' garment and washer for attaching the but-to] to the garment, substantially as set forth.

2. The combination of a button consisting of a body or core of felt or other yielding ma terial, a flanged base-disk, tongues made in tcgral with the base-disk, one of the tongue having a slot, an exterior covering, and slotted washer, through which the tongue are passed, said tongues interlocking with th washer and with each other, substantially a set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing a my invention I have signed my name in pres ence of two subscribing witnesses.

HERMANN F. BINDSEIL.
